You're able to sense changes in the city?

voice

[patternprophet]

To some extent. I know that something will happen, just not exactly what.

voice

[allegretta]

More than most here. What allows you to recognize a change?

voice

[patternprophet]

I see patterns, I can tell what happened before, and what will happen.

voice

[allegretta]

[ ... Well, that's certainly new. ]

I was lead to believe this place had no distinguishable pattern in its transformations.

voice

[patternprophet]

They change constantly. It's hard to keep track.

[Granted, he's speaking on a more metaphorical level]

voice

[allegretta]

Of course. And yet somehow you are able to draw a conclusion. [ A pause, and with some respect: ] Remarkable.

Are you capable of recognizing details of a change, or merely that it will occur?

voice

[patternprophet]

[There's a bit of a pause, as he reflects on that for a moment. Usually he's just called crazy]

Just that it will occur. I used to see the finer details, but since I got here...

[Trails off. It's been bothering him]

[ Legretta's heard stranger things, and with how unpredictable the city is - ]

The city seems to be very particular in which abilities it chooses to lessen. How frustrating.

In any case, the information is appreciated.

voice

[patternprophet]

It it, but I'm glad that I was able to helpful Legretta.

[Hope this is alright, but Leoben tends to pull things like names out of the patterns. He's a bit more in tune with them today so yeah]

[ooc; yep, that's fine! :>]

[ - There's something about someone knowing her name before she says it that leaves a bad taste in her mouth. ]

The clairvoyance granted by these patterns extends to individuals as well?

voice

[patternprophet]

Yes. I see the connections between everything, and everyone.

voice

[allegretta]

Would you consider yourself omniscient, then?

voice

[patternprophet]

To an extent. Back in my world, I suppose I was. Here, not so much.

voice

[allegretta]

[ More to herself than anything: ] It must be crippling.

[ A considering pause. ] I still haven't gotten your name.

voice

[patternprophet]

My apologies. I am Leoben.
